..in 34 minutes and 6 seconds. Hubby did it in half the time! He was starting to feel concerned for me after the thirty minute mark. The climb itself was great. Afterwards was a disorganized shamble! What took just a few minutes to climb on foot, took over an hour to take a 2-minute elevator ride down. Thousands of people and not all of the 8 elevators were in service for us. The climbing was fine. The waiting around in a crowd of thousands - not so fine. Will I do it again? Yes. Next year I am going to beat my time!
